Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0554132A2] Apparatus for partitioning a storage space such as the load space of a goods vehicle (10) comprises a frame which defines an opening through which the storage space is accessible, and at least one partition movable within the load space to define at least two compartments of desired relative size in the storage space. Both compartments are accessible through the opening, on either side of the partition. Expandable closure elements, typically in the form of collapsible trellis-type doors (148), are movable to close the opening, and be locked to each other or to the partition, so that access can be gained to either compartment, while the other remains secure. The expandable closure elements and the partition move on respective sets of tracks. A version of the invention is also disclosed in which movable partition elements in a storage space are provided with expandable closures, allowing access through the partitions. <IMAGE>
